Saltpetre House

Saltpetre House

Big decisions deserve a room with history. Built in 1787, the year the Crown bought the Mills, Saltpetre House is our oldest meeting space and offers boardroom hire in Essex for up to 20 people. It takes its name from saltpetre, one of the three ingredients of gunpowder. With natural light, blackout for presentations and a screen, it’s ideal for board meetings, strategy sessions and small workshops. It’s set within the 170-acre Gunpowder Mills site in Waltham Abbey, just minutes from the M25, with plenty of parking on site.
